time to vaccuum New city, different laptop, still summer. I've moved to Manzanita for the summer and have found myself a fulltime job that while not exactly my concept of exciting, pays the bills. The towns of Oregon are unusually quiet this summer and each day passes with grace and confidence, never halting or shaking...just keeping me aboard. I wonder if the rest of the season will pass with this almost wintery consistency, where each day looks just as familiar as the last but none-the-less engaging in its new inquiries.

Composting is among my newest favorite activities. ever since the garbage man decided not to take away my biweekly load of shit, I have been forced into the eco-friendly habit of creating as little garbage as possible by recycling everything possible and composting the rest. Plastic wrappers emerge as a blockade in my way of cutting back my dumpage so I am resorting to only whole, unprocessed foods, bulk grains, and canned soups. So far its been 6 days since I have put anything into a garbage. As for composting, I discovered I almost like the stench of decaying organism as they transform themselves into a completely new substance useful for giving life. Its almost like watching an external digestive system without all the organs and the product doesnt stink nearly as much as poop....almost.

In a week I leave for LA again for a breif dance workshop that will hopefully light my artistic flame that has been low for the last few weeks. Spiritual yoga has kept me active externally and to an extent, internally, however I crave to take space again and begin to work on my senior thesis. How daunting. But Fun.
